At Cook County, we are setting targets to achieve results. Since its establishment the STAR Performance Management program has increased visibility into the County’s operations and generated substantial returns through increased revenue, decreased costs and improved services. STAR is a partnership of the Board of Commissioners, County Agencies, employees, and residents. All County offices and agencies report progress toward stated goals, and work together to improve performance. The STAR program was initiated in February of 2011 and we published our first report in July 2011. This is our ninth report. We will continue to report on progress every three months to tell you how well Cook County is doing, to point out where we have room for improvement, and to invite you to share your ideas on how to run the County more effectively and efficiently. Please read through and respond to this report. Your feedback is critical to moving our county forward and achieving the results you expect. Goals of the program The efforts of each office within the County have been linked to countywide goals in the areas of public safety, healthcare, property and taxation, and economic development. The STAR program provides a forum for county agencies to work jointly to set priorities, identify opportunities, address problems, and measure performance transparently. Through STAR, the County regularly reports performance data, creating a culture of transparency and accountability. During internal reviews with senior County leadership and the quarterly STAR reports, County agencies demonstrate successes and highlight areas for improvement. Residents and decision makers have access to critical operational data that helps them to hold their government accountable. In addition, performance data provides decision makers valuable information in deciding how best to direct tax dollars. Quality performance data is important to understanding how budget decisions will impact operations and is a critical input to performance based budgeting.

How To Read STAR Reports And Give Feedback
3 | Cook County Performance by Office, 2nd Quarter 2013
How do we measure progress to these goals? Measures that are on target get a star.
What is the department trying to achieve? What goals have they set?
What does this department do? What services do they provide?
How much do they spend? Halfway through the year, are they within their budget? Note: Year to date is December 1 through August 31.
What are we doing to improve performance?
In setting goals, we looked at prior performance. We looked at similar government agencies in
other large urban counties and trusted professional associations such as the National Center for
State Courts, the National Prosecutors Survey, the Government Finance Officers Association, and the
National Performance Management Advisory Commission. Throughout, we consulted the experts in
the field.

Cook County Performance by Office, 2nd Quarter 2013 | 6
Cook County has 22,000 employees and a 2013 proposed budget of $2.9 billion. An organization of this size requires sound management in the areas of budgeting, revenue collection, human resources, purchasing, and fiscal oversight. After the Board passes the annual appropriation, responsibility for staying on budget resides with each County agency. Quarterly STAR reports help identify spending patterns. Strong financial oversight ensures problematic patterns are identified early and spending is adjusted where needed to remain on budget. Revenues from fees, taxes, and fines are collected by several departments and offices. Revenues are collected by the Revenue Department and the revenue function within other agencies. Having the correct people in the correct jobs at the right time is critical. Human Resources fills vacancies, trains employees, and manages policies on absence and leave.

Efficiently administer and enforce the collection of Cook County Home Rule Taxes, fees, and fines while providing courteous, professional service to the public. Also, fairly and equitably enforce Tax Compliance and accurately process revenue collections.
Since 2009, the revenue from Home Rule collection has been declining due in-part to the financial crisis of 2008 and the on-going recession. As the economy starts to recover, this decline should taper off; however, high oil prices will continue to impact Gasoline and Diesel Taxes negatively. Over the past two years, implementation of automated systems (from manual processes) has temporarily slowed revenue collection. The Cook County Department of Revenue remains optimistic that automation as well as increased compliance and enforcement will increase revenues in years going forward.

The County administers $75 million in economic development grants and controls over $1 billion through the purchase of goods and services. The County will complete the full repeal of the 1% sales tax increase by January 1, 2013, lifting a $400 million burden faced by residents and businesses. The County is pursuing a consolidated approach to economic development through the Bureau of Economic Development. The Bureau oversees planning and community development, County capital planning, building and zoning in unincorporated Cook County (including zoning appeals) and the management of the County’s real estate assets. The resulting effort is a more integrated and coordinated approach to retain and expand workforce opportunities, invest in communities, and foster economic vitality. In addition this approach results in a greater alignment and coordination with strategic partners, foundations, and community organizations focused on economic development.

ASSESSOR
Reassessment of property in Cook County is done within a triennial cycle, meaning it occurs every three years. The Office alternates reassessments between the north and west suburbs (north tri), the south and west suburbs (south tri) and the City of Chicago. The original projected date to conclude the 2011 assessment was December 30, 2011. The assessment was actually concluded on November 22, 2011. Consequently the assessment cycle was reduced by 44 days which was 209 days shorter than it was in 2008. In the chart that follows the variance is a reflection of both the projected and actual number of days for that triennial as well as the actual number of days in the preceding triennial.
